No you can't collect from both disability and unemployment at the same time. Disability provides income replacement if you are physically unable to work. Unemployment replaces income for those able to work, but out of work due to job loss.
Their should be no problem. I would double check with your insurance company as their may be some variation by company and state. Be well.
Only if you weren't qualified for either one of them.
Legally, yes, but it may be a factor in whether you're approved for Social Security Disability (SSDI).While the Social Security Administration doesn't prohibit people on (SSDI) disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations usually require all unemployment recipients to be willing and able to accept full-time work.This creates a conflict, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
In MA I asked that same question. "Now that I'm getting disability, I guess I have to stop unemployment." Answer: "No, they are completely independent." So I collected in both. Of course, you will pay taxes on both, so put some aside. It seems counter-intuitive, since disability means you can't work and in unemploment you state you can work. I think the reasoning is: If you read your disability rules closely, they acknowledge the possibility that you find some work that you can do, and since that takes job-finding time you still qualify for unemployment.

This would depend on the state you work in. In most states, if you qualified for long term disability, you could not be eligible for unemployment because, among other things, you have to be ready, willing, ABLE, and actively seeking full time employment.
Generally you can't collect unemployment while disabled because you have to be ready, willing AND able to go to work immediately for full time. Disability makes that impossible, in most cases. If the time frame and every thing else applies, you might after the disability ends.
You can't file for unemployment when you are on disability.

Unemployment insurance replaces your income if you lose your job.Short term disability insurance protects your income if you become disabled, and are physically unable to work.The two are mutually exclusive, unless your employer lays you off during your disability.
